Combining ability analysis for yield and its attributes in Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) [PDF]
Hybridization in Line x Tester mating design was conducted with 11 MYMV susceptible lines and three resistant testers in blackgram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) to understand the nature of gene action, combining ability of the parents (gca) and to assess the

Dissecting the Genetic Architecture of Biofuel-Related Traits in a Sorghum Breeding Population
In sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], hybrid cultivars for the biofuel industry are desired. Along with selection based on testcross performance, evaluation of the breeding population per se is also important for the success of hybrid breeding.

A differentially methylated region of the ZmCCT10 promoter affects flowering time in hybrid maize
Flowering time (FT) is a key maize domestication trait, variation in which allows maize to grow in a wide range of latitudes. Although previous studies have investigated the genetic control of FT-related traits per se, few studies of FT hybrid ...

The positional-specificity effect reveals a passive-trace contribution to visual short-term memory. [PDF]
The positional-specificity effect refers to enhanced performance in visual short-term memory (VSTM) when the recognition probe is presented at the same location as had been the sample, even though location is irrelevant to the match/nonmatch decision. We
